Thaburi 86
1 Ihooya rĩa Daudi Wee Jehova, njigua na ũnjĩtĩke, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ mũthĩĩni na mũbatari.
“A prayer of David.” Incline, O Lord, thy ear, answer me; for poor and needy am I.
2 Gitĩra muoyo wakwa, nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩheanĩte harĩwe. Wee nĩwe Ngai wakwa; honokia ndungata yaku ĩno ĩkwĩhokete.
Preserve my soul; for I am pious: help thy servant, O thou my God, that trusteth in thee.
3 Njiguĩra tha, Wee Mwathani, nĩgũkorwo ngũkayagĩra mũthenya wothe.
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee I call all the time.
4 He ndungata yaku gĩkeno, nĩgũkorwo nĩ kũrĩ we, Wee Mwathani, ndorereirie ngoro yakwa.
Cause to rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift my soul.
5 Nĩgũkorwo Wee Mwathani ũrĩ mwega na nĩũrekanagĩra, ũkaingĩhia wendo kũrĩ arĩa othe magũkayagĩra.
For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving, and abundant in kindness unto all that call on thee.
6 Igua ihooya rĩakwa, Wee Jehova; thikĩrĩria ikaya rĩakwa ũnjiguĩre tha.
Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaakorwo na thĩĩna nĩngagũkaĩra, nĩgũkorwo nĩũkanjĩtĩka.
On the day of my distress will I call on thee; for thou wilt answer me.
8 Wee Mwathani, thĩinĩ wa ngai ciothe gũtirĩ ĩngĩ tawe; gũtirĩ ciĩko ingĩhaananio na ciaku.
There is none like unto thee among the Gods, O Lord; and there is nothing like thy works.
9 Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria ũmbĩte nĩigooka igũthathaiye irĩ mbere yaku, Wee Mwathani; nĩikarehera rĩĩtwa rĩaku riiri.
All the nations whom thou hast made shall come and bow themselves down before thee, O Lord; and they shall ascribe honor unto thy name.
10 Nĩgũkorwo Wee ũrĩ mũnene, na nĩwĩkaga ciĩko cia kũgegania; Wee wiki nowe Ngai.
For great art thou, and doing wondrous things: thou art God by thyself alone.
11 Wee Jehova, nyonagĩrĩria njĩra ciaku, nĩgeetha thiiage na mĩthiĩre ya ma; he ngoro ĩĩrutĩire kũna, nĩguo ndĩĩtigagĩre rĩĩtwa rĩaku.
Teach me, O Lord, thy way; I will walk firmly in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 Nĩndĩrĩkũgoocaga na ngoro yakwa yothe, Wee Mwathani Ngai wakwa; ngũtũũra ngumagia rĩĩtwa rĩaku nginya tene.
I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will honor thy name for evermore.
13 Nĩgũkorwo wendo waku nĩ mũnene harĩ niĩ; nĩũndeithũrĩte kuuma mbĩrĩra-inĩ o kũrĩa kũriku mũno. (Sheol h7585)
For thy kindness is great toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the grave of the lower world. (Sheol h7585)
14 Wee Ngai, andũ arĩa etĩĩi nĩmaraatharĩkĩra; gĩkundi kĩa andũ matarĩ tha nĩmaracaria muoyo wakwa, o andũ acio matakũrũmbũyagia.
O God, the presumptuous are risen up against me, and the assembly of the powerful wicked have sought after my life, and have not set thee before them.
15 No Wee, Wee Mwathani, ũrĩ Mũrungu mũigua tha na ũrĩ mũtugi, ndũhiũhaga kũrakara, na ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ wendo na wĩhokeku.
But thou, O Lord, art God, full of mercy, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16 Wĩhũgũre ũndore na ũnjiguĩre tha; he ndungata ĩno yaku hinya waku, na ũhonokie mũriũ wa ndungata yaku ya mũndũ-wa-nja.
Oh turn unto me, and be gracious unto me: give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Nyonia kĩmenyithia kĩa wega waku, nĩguo thũ ciakwa ikĩone iconorithio, nĩgũkorwo Wee, Wee Jehova, nĩũndeithĩtie na ũkaahooreria.
Display on me a sign for good, that those who hate me may see it, and be ashamed; because thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
